First things first, this is primarily a multiplayer game. Yes it's possible to play on your own but right off the bat you can tell you're missing out on something if you're playing alone. "Kill Team" is in the title, and your commanding officer won't let you forget that there's supposed to be more than one of you. The controls are simple. You move with the left stick and shoot with the right. (similar to "Geometry Wars") Melee attacks are assigned to the A button and your class' special move is assigned to the right bumper.

Anyone familiar with the Warhammer 40K strategy series will immediately recognize the classes available for play. I played alone, so I picked the Heavy Bolter class. It spits out a lot of damage at any range and he can take a fair amount of damage before hitting the deck. I made it through the first level and most of the second before I ever had a respawn. The other classes follow the usual caster, brawler molds.

Really, there isn't much to this game. It feels like the preshow entertainment to the big game coming out later "Warhammer 40K: Space Marine". You even get a power sword you can use in "Space Marine" when you beat the first mission in "Kill Team". Being a simple game isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fans of the source material will relish in being able to take control of the devestation instead of being forced to point and click commands from the sky while your troops scurry along as they follow your orders. So if you're interested in some simple run and gun action, I'd recommend finding a friend and picking this game up.
